Here's another great R2-D2 birthday cake. This one was created by a fan and posted over at DeviantArt.com.

“Metallic shine is edible glitter, silver ‘eye’ pieces I sculpted out of marzipan and my friend covered with the glitter. Big box/lens is painted box (painted by her roommate) with plastic painted package piece to make the lens. Light is chopped off ring from party supply store.”

Joey Fatone Wants To Sell His House, Not His R2-D2!
Posted by Dustin on February 20, 2010 at 07:23 AM CST:
Looks like a potential sale for former 'N Sync member Joey Fatone went belly up because he didn't want to include his $40,000 fully operation astromech, R2-D2. Here's a quick clip from TMZ :

"The R2D2 happened to catch the eye of a person interested in buying Joey's 12,370 sq. ft., $5.5 million Orlando mansion. But the potential buyer didn't just want the house, he also wanted the "Star Wars" figure ... and a bunch of other cool stuff in the home."

It would have been "No Deal!" for me too Joey! Special thanks to Neil for the heads up!
